In the spirit of the holiday season, Palmer Wireless helped the United States Marine Corps surpass its goal of collecting 10,000 toys for needy children this holiday season. More than 14,000 toys were collected for the military’s charity effort.
Palmer Wireless promoted the Toys for Tots campaign in its stores in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina by offering customers who donated toys for the charity a free cellular phone when they signed up for service.
“With the help of Palmer Wireless/Cellular One this year, the United States Marine Corps has been able to triple the number of toys it received in previous years,” said First Sergeant J.R. Jimenez, coordinator of Toys for Tots.
“We need more companies to follow Cellular One’s lead so we can reach even more needy children.” Palmer does business under the Cellular One brand name.
